Thanks to you and all the researchers.

Hi Anne.
Fabulous site. A wealth of information and puts me to shame.
So well put together. Must have taken some time to complete.
Regards Paul

Thank you from Deb Neubauer for contacting me with old family photos, and suggesting this website!
Wow! This is a great resource and i've suggested to our family as well.
My father was Douglas Henry Stobbs. My brother is Gregory Blair Shea Stobbs.
I have 2 children and 3 grandchildren, so, our family continues to grow!
We will have a Stobbs Family Reunion in August, in Chilliwack. We can gather more information there?!
Thank you to Anne Brooks for all this wonderful, rich and precious family information.
Happy New Year 2020!

Was just looking up Yelland family. I have some updated information if you need it please email me.

Thank you so much for putting this site together Anne. My husband (Darcy Brooks) is a 4X Great Grandson of John & Francis Brooks. He comes from the line that ended up going out west to Vancouver Island. I decided to start researching his family after having a discussion with his father last summer. We found all the info SO interesting. In fact, we decided for our summer vacation this year to travel to PEI (the only province ironically my husband had never been to). We spent an afternoon exploring Murray Harbour and went to the Cemetery to 'meet' John & Francis Brooks. We went through every stone to visit all of the Brooks'. It was an amazing trip and my husband tells everyone about it. we felt so connected to the family while we were there. A year ago we had no idea where his family came from, now we have walked the same ground that his ancestors walked on, worked on & built.

I am a descendant of Alexander B. Mumert/Mummert & Sarah W. Pope. Sarah Pope & Emma Pope were sisters - both daughters of Abraham Pope & Sarah Crampton.
I would very much like to have info. on the Pope's.
Long time ago my Grandmother Edith (Allen) Kysar wrote back & forth with William Turgoose (found a couple of letters dated 1976, 1977). He also had a lot of family history about the Pope's. Do you have any of that or know who does?
Please contact me.

My great grandmother (Margaret Elizabeth Bowes) was married to John Works. My grandfather (John & Margaret's son) was Cecil Works who died in 1991. His last name was changed to Wark - don't know why that was.

Thank you for sharing your site! I was checking out a blood line of my new grandson whose great great grandfather was Albert N.L.Voden and your information has saved me a lot of effort!

I wonder if your research shows adult male MacDonalds living in the proximity of a Murray family on PEI, circa 1862. I believe my paternal grandfather's name was the result of a non paternal event. Y-DNA testing strongly suggests a link to the MacDonalds of Skye. Are you aware of any DNA testing within your family?
